Measure Schmeasure v1.0 released!

The first public version of Measure Schmeasure is available for download. Every once in a while I need to measure the width or height of something on the screen and I've been searching for a decent free program to do that for a while. Eventually I just ended up building one myself, because anything I found was either junk or too expensive. I'm sorry, but I'm not paying $20 or more to measure pixels.

I've released a new version of SnipSnip. This is a minor bug fix release which fixes one issue, and a couple of "nice to have" things about the installer.

Troubleshooting when Sharepoint says "Please try again" - Error code 0x80004005

Troubleshooting deployment errors in Sharepoint can sometimes be frustrating. Often you get some cryptic error and a inspiring message to "Please try again" when trying again really isn't going to make much of a difference.

Just now I was trying to deploy a site definition after making a minor change to it. I hadn't touched this particular definition in a while, and honestly, I felt a little rusty. I thought I had done the right thing, but when I deployed the solution using STSADM.exe, Sharepoint didn't like my changes.

Now the problem I had is pretty specific but reading through this article you might be able to use some of these troubleshooting steps to find the cause of a similar, or maybe even a not so similar, problem.

Approving multiple pages using Powershell

Sometimes I do a bunch of changes to a bunch of pages, without approving them. Then I need to login as a regular user to test something, and I realize I have a dozen pages that aren't visible because they're not approved. Instead of going to each of these pages and approve them all manually, I wrote this script a while back.

Loading Sharepoint scripts in PowerShell

If you've downloaded some of my previous scripts and tried to run them from your powershell prompt, you may have gotten some "Can not find type" errors if you didn't load the Sharepoint libraries first. If you're fresh with Powershell and Sharepoint, it may not be inherently obvious how to do this so I decided to write a small guide on how I have my Powershell setup on my virtual machine.
